Chapter Seven: The Murder at the Back of West College

It was the sight of a perfect crime. Almost.

He was an Illustrator who pretended to be a beautiful brunette, long hair, luscious full breasts, slender body, and the most beautiful face that ever existed in the mind of his prey. The victim was a Standing Member of the Taxonomy Code Council, a fully accomplished General who has access to the many vital information within the Codes of Encryption Committee. It was a planned murder, meticulously laid out, and brutal in its implementation. Nothing else shall stand in his way, not even mercy and compassion. Every single one of them will pay the expensive price of a bitter retribution.

The killing was soft, initially painless, but sadistic in its long process of infliction. He was all deaf throughout the murder procedure as his victim's cry of agony became a tantalizing music for him to worsen the situation for the General's plea for the feeling of extreme suffering to stop. It was very vicious once the Illustrator enters the mind of his potential opponent, and the pain that they can use to go for the kill is simply undescribable.

He can feel the blood rushing through his veins, with his heart beating for the same reason of wanting justice from all the deceit and betrayal that they have experienced, as he strangle and wounded his victim through the cooperation of the victim's mind, and he loved every single moment of it. 

He was an Illustrator from the future, and he is not supposed to be here. Yet, he must travel back to this exact moment to prevent this General from implementing a secret plan that will endanger the See of Colors prematurely. They have carefully considered the time wasp related to this journey, and they have predetermined that this option is the optimal choice given the present circumstances.

The victim lay there, motionless, in front of himself, while he was still intruding in the General's mind. Again, it was a carefully planned crime, and they are fully aware of how the murder will break the news and how the Tower of Taxonomy will investigate this particular crime scene.

But no matter how vigilantly you plan a crime, there will always be some sort of mistake that will be committed by the murderer. As it has been said before, the perfect crime does not exist. He may leave an evidence to incriminate himself along the way, but he will be gone from this place after tonight, anyway.

After all, he was trying to frame some Taxonomists to be a person of interest for this sadistic murder.

What he was thinking was a link that will mislead the investigators, notwithstanding the fatal mistakes that he will unintentionally leave from the crime scene. They have thought far and wide about the implications that the clues that he will litter in the circumstances surrounding the crime. And they hope that it will be confusing enough to point the murders to the interior corruption happening within the Code. 

But that is, if they are going to be extremely lucky.
